In Christian theology, original sin is the condition of sinfulness that all humans share, which they inherit from the Fall of Adam and Eve, involving the loss of original righteousness and the distortion of the Image of God. The biblical basis for the belief is generally found in Genesis 3, and in texts such as Psalm 51:5 and Romans 5:12–21.

"In scriptures of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the following explanation is given to Enoch by God: "And our father Adam spake unto the Lord, and said: Why is it that men must repent and be baptized in water? And the Lord said unto Adam: Behold I have forgiven thee thy transgression in the Garden of Eden. Hence came the saying abroad among the people, that the Son of God hath atoned for original guilt, wherein the sins of the parents cannot be answered upon the heads of the children, for they are whole from the foundation of the world."

"A person of an honourable mind, Religiously devout, faithful and kind, Is doomd to pay the lamentable score Of guilt accumulated long before— Some wicked ancestors unholy deed. — I wish that it were otherwise decreed! For now we witness wealth and power enjoyd By wicked doers ; and the good destroyed Quite undeservedly ; doomd to atone, In other times, for actions not their own."

"It is a question here not of ethical guilt (how could the child acquire it?) but rather of the natural kind, which befalls human beings not by decision and action but by negligence and celebration. When they turn their attention away from the human and succumb to the power of nature, then natural life, which in man preserves its innocence only so long as natural life binds itself to something higher, drags the human down. With the disappearance of supernatural life in man, his natural life turns into guilt, even without his committing an act contrary to ethics."
